Basic computer networks components. Computer networks share common devices, function, and features, and features including servers,clients, transmission media, shared data, shared printer and other hardware and software resources, network iterface card (NIC), local operating system(LOS), and the network operating system(NOS)Features Of Computer network
Features Of Computer network
A list Of Computer network features is given below :Communication speed
File sharing
Back up and Roll back is easy
Software and Hardware sharing
Security
Scalability
Reliability
Communication speed
Network provides us to communicate over the network in a fast and efficient manner. For example, we can do video conferencing, email messaging, etc. over the internet. Therefore, the computer network is a great way to share our knowledge and ideas.
File sharing
One of the reason why we use a computer network is to share the data between different systems connected with each other through a transmission media.
Back up and Roll back is easy
Since the files are stored in the main server which is centrally located. Therefore, it is easy to take the back up from the main server.
Software and Hardware sharing
We can install the applications on the main server, therefore, the user can access the applications centrally. So, we do not need to install the software on every machine. Similarly, hardware can also be shared.
Security
A computer network should be secure so that the data transmitting over a network should be safe from unauthorised access. Also, the sent data should be received as it is at the receiving node, which means there should not be any loss of data during transmission.
Scalability
Scalability means that we can add the new components on the network. Network must be scalable so that we can extend the network by adding new devices. But, it decreases the speed of the connection and data of the transmission speed also decreases, this increases the chances of error occurring. This problem can be overcome by using the routing or switching devices.
Reliability
Computer network can use the alternative source for the data communication in case of any hardware failure.
